Eriel's Hyper-Pigmentation Miracle: Brightening Pads
Prescribed by Dr. Bosley (shoutout to one of our favorite Dallas-based dermatologists), these Skinmedica brightening pads have been instrumental in Eriel’s skincare journey, effectively reducing hyper-pigmentation under her chin. Coupled with daily sunscreen, she’s seen noticeable improvements. Additionally, the Aveeno Eczema Therapy lotion has become her go-to for soothing dry spots. While she doesn’t have eczema all over, she finds it incredibly moisturizing for everyday use, making it a staple in her skincare routine.
Romario's Glow-Boosting Essential: Pond’s Moisturizer
Romario raves about Pond’s moisturizer, which leaves his skin glowing and deeply moisturized without feeling heavy (even on flights!). The light, pleasant scent adds to its appeal, making it a daily must-have.
Shayla's Minimalist Routine
Shayla keeps it simple yet effective with toner, vitamin C or hyaluronic acid serum, CeraVe moisturizer, and CeraVe’s hydrating sunscreen – this routine keeps her breakout-free even when her Aunt Flo comes to visit. Her secret weapon? Clean Skin Club clean towels, offering a gentler alternative to traditional facecloths.
Napier's TikTok Finds: CeraVe SPF and Naturium Face Wash
Driven by TikTok recommendations, Napier trusts CeraVe SPF for its non-white cast formula and has been pleasantly surprised by Naturium’s face wash, originally intrigued by its viral scandal backstory.
Kashara's Time-Tested Kiehl's Favorites and Black-Owned Gems
Inspired by Tamera Mowry, Kashara swears by Kiehl’s ultra facial cleanser, corrective cream, and nighttime recovery oil for their gentle, hydrating formulas and longevity. She also supports small, black-owned brands like The Butter Bar Skincare in Houston for their natural, body-focused products.
